I did for many years, but not lately...
I've mentioned it before, but my degree is in management and I have been working in residential and light commercial construction for 20 years. My degree hasn't helped me at work at all, but it was a personal goal to achieve. I learned everything on the job, starting by sweepomg houses and picking up construction debris to buildnig homes and managing neighborhoods. While residential is dead and no jobs available, there are some for commercial, but they all want a degree in engineering, construction management or architecture (plus experience).
Now I'm looking to other fields of work and anywhere that's hiring. Hint! hint!
If I had to do it over again, I would have joined the military (like USAF) or get a degree in engineering/construction management and then join the military.
